Essentials of Care
Essentials of Care contributes to the physical, psychological and social wellbeing of the client and their family. We are therefore funding several projects designed to provide an evidence base for essential care practices in nursing and care. In addition, a number of projects is awarded with grants to apply current evidence-based practice (EBP) interventions in daily care practice, and further consolidate this knowledge.
Describing best practices
In order to be able to apply best practice on a broad basis, it is important that examples are properly described. Threfor, we fund projects designed to produce an accessible overview of well-described examples of best practice for nursing and care.
